Build-A-Bear (Ukulele Version)

Mama buys me pink perfume
Little miss perfect all through June
Would you still love me if I kissed a girl?
It's the 6th-grade verses the big bad world
All I'll ever need to know
Is all the things I won't be told
Mama, what if my perfume was cologne?
Can I still be a princess with an all-blue soul?

Wrapped inside my body, there's a prism in my head
Feeling through a tunnel with a rainbow in the end
Love to be with Barbie but I'd rather be a Ken (Rather be a ken)
Nеver knowing when

When it еven mattered or when anybody cared
When someone's blue, and pink, and white made people stop and stare
But I think that I'll just keep mine a-waving in the air
I am mine, I am mine, not a Build-A-Bear

La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)
La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)

When they choose
Your avatar
It's a game
Where you won't get far
Crumbling cookies fall apart, but
All that hurt will bring you stardust
Mama
Respect your art

Wrapped inside my body, there's a prism in my head
Feeling through a tunnel with a rainbow in the end
Love to be with Barbie but I'd rather be a Ken
Never knowing when

When it even mattered or when anybody cared
When someone's blue, and pink, and white made people stop and stare
But I think that I'll just keep mine a-waving in the air
I am mine, I am mine, not a Build-A-Bear

La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)
La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)

Nobody can stuff a heart
Nobody can dress a soul
Nobody can stuff a heart
So I guess they'll never know-oh-oh

When it even mattered or when anybody cared
When someone's blue, and pink, and white made people stop and stare
But I think that I'll just keep mine a-waving in the air
I am mine, I am mine, not a Build-A-Bear

La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)
La-da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-daa-da (Not a Build-A-Bear)
(La-da-da-da-da)
